    I made a significant error in leaving my bike on the center stand on hot asphalt. I came out after about an hour to find it laying on the right side. there are scratches in one of the hard bags and near the front turn signal. Also, the throttle does not move freely any longer. when i turn it, it stays. The bike is equipped with Throttlemeisters, but unscrewing it had no effect. there is no visible dent, but obviously there is damage. Has anyone experienced this, or do you have an idea of what it will take to remedy?

    after close look i am pretty sure the handlebar tube has a slight bend in it. i think that it will need replacing.
